Frontier has turned out to be another corporate black hole and seems to be milking a dead cow.
Pros
Working as an outside tech is a great job. It is hard to match the freedom that comes with it. Also, one outside tech is responsible for all aspects of the outside plant from pots to circuits allowing for a wider skill set as opposed to AT&T which is broken up into different groups which handle different jobs. Being a telephone repair man always carries a great deal of pride. It's a man's job that requires a great deal of technical aptitude and problem solving skills.
Cons
The executive at Frontier from the CEO to the local managers think they are doing a wonderful job, but are essentially destroying the company and ruining morale. Getting materials and tools is difficult and there is no money being put into restoring or updating the plant. It seems as if Frontier is only concerned with fooling Wallstreet for as long as possible.
